Dolphins midseason report card

Quarterback: C+

Jim Rassol / Sun Sentinel

Ryan Tannehill is ranked as the 18th best QB in the NFL when factoring in everyone who has played at least 50 percent of their team’s snaps. He continues to struggle on third downs, in the fourth quarter and in the red zone. Even with shaky offensive line play, it is hard to imagine that Tannehill will improve much more after 56 NFL starts. Tannehill appears to merely be a game manager.

Lamar Miller’s 5.3 yards per carry average is the seventh highest out of tailbacks who have gotten 50 or more carries this season. The former Hurricanes standout has also established himself as a threat catching the ball (27 receptions for 269 yards and a touchdown) this season. Miller needs more touches than the 15 he’s getting per game. Between rookie Jay Ajayi, who was impressive in his debut Sunday against the Buffalo Bills and Damien Williams, the Dolphins need to settle on a third down back.
